Network Configuration

During network configuration, each individual interface on the DXi T10 can be configured as a subnet with its own network settings. Each physical Ethernet port can be configured as an interface. In addition, you can also create bonded interfaces (logical ports) consisting of two or more physical ports.

Keep in mind that any traffic can pass through any of the configured Ethernet ports. This means that the routing of different traffic types, as well as firewall capability, must be controlled using the network infrastructure (routers and switches) connected to the DXi T10.

For more information about configuration network settings, see Network.

Note: Each configured network interface requires its own set of network settings (IP address, network mask, and gateway).

Caution: For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is required. (A network switch is not supplied with the DXi T10.) The DXi T10 bonding settings must match the switch settings. If the switch settings and the DXi T10 settings do not match, your system may become inaccessible through the switch.
